Emily Noel Frugoli - Online Memorial Website

It's been a long time now Emily since I heard your laugh. I was just wondering though, if you and Patrick have found each other up there? I surely hope so, because he be lost without your guidance. Hope your dancing to the music, I think about both of you eveytime I hear a Dead song. Love you both so much and miss you even more.

It goes without saying how sorely Emily was missed at this years high school reunion. Her's was a special soul that touched us all in so many profound ways. We will never forget her infectious joy, overflowing charisma, her great laugh and smile, her lust for life and compassionate spirit, her love of mother earth and the hope that she placed in humanity's future: the children that she cared so deeply for. It's quite inspirational, when you think about it. I will always remember all the good times we had together, from pool and billiard parties at her dad's house to the trip the gang and I took out to CO to her condemned (?!?) residence, the hikes, the Grateful Dead shows, the house parties, etc. Entering Emily's world was always a fun adventure with a spark of magical unpredictability. I consider myself so lucky to have known her and to have been a part of it. As of this date, five years have elapsed since her passing, but we have not forgotten Emily, nor have the impacts that she had on our lives faded. They still reverberate in the not-so-distant background, and if we listen closely, we can hear them all around us, as loud as a soul-tickling Jerry Garcia solo.

What up Frugoli!!??

We miss you sooooooo fkn much, remembering you everyday.  Our lives haven't been the same since you've been gone...

We miss  you, we love you, we wish you were here, you have no idea how your spirit has affected and transformed our lives...you made us who we are today.

P.S  You are the only reason Peraino is getting the same flower tattoo as you because it's ALL FKD UP and you're gone and I'm wearing it on the left hand side so Dolphin Dolphin is NOT ALONE!

Dolphin and Welfer FOREVER!!!

FKN LUUUUUUUUUUUUUV UUUUUUUUUUUUUU EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just found out today that Emily passed away. Obviously our lives had drifted away from each others, but I was still very stunned to learn that another wonderful light had left this world. The first things that comes to mind when I think of Emily is the light she had in her eyes, I met her the second day I was in aspen and immediately knew I had found a wonderful friend. There are people you meet in your life that are 100% true to who they are, and they always seem to shine a little brighter than the rest of us, while we all wander around trying to find our way, they seem to be a beacon that shows us the way the rest of us should be.
    The second thing that comes to mind is her wealth of compassion for those around her. Though we only spent a little time together in Aspen and again in Eugene right after she had moved there, there was certainly no shortage of difficult events that we as young people, experienced together. Even after losing another person who was much too young, Alyssa Rose, Emily still found a lot of love to share with those around her, and I will certainly always be grateful for having known such a caring, sincere, genuine and warm person.
     It's always such a shame that those stars that burn the brightest, seem to be the ones that burn out first, and I would like to share my sincerest condolences for Emily's family, and for all of her friends, and for all the people whose lives she touched. Say hi to Alyssa for me, tonight I'm going to raise a glass of Taddy Porter for you and toast one of the loveliest people that I have ever come across.

I dont even know where to begin. Emily you rocked all of our worlds. I have learned so much from you. You taught me to live, to eat spicy food, to dance, to sing no matter how off key I sound. You taught me strength and beauty and the true essence of life. I always always thought I would see you again. I always thought we would end up in the same town again, laughing and singing together again.  I keep thinking about all our times together, like the time you saved me when i jumped off that cliff in Aspen. The water was sooo cold and I fell for what seemed like eternity! I had to pee, I held my breathe the whole way down too, remember? So when I came up for air, I couldnt breathe and I started sinking and you were there. Swam out like a dolphin and saved my drowning ass.

Some days are easier than others and today is very hard, I miss you so much. I hear your voice in my head ALL the time, I hear you singing, I hear you call my name, no matter how hard I try I cant bring you back or hold you near again, and that makes me soo sad.  I love you so very much and words will never ever be enough to describe how much I miss you. I cant thank you enough.  You changed my life and made me see so much more. Thank you, thank you... Say hey to Alyssa for me, I miss her too!

Dolphin, Dolphin,
